A day in the life of a Christian varies from man to man, but a Jew’s day is set to a formula. Christians say formulas are wooden and finally result in life without meaning, and Jews feel they set up life’s meaning. Who is right?
A Jewish day begins with a set prayer that gives thanks for restoring the soul, then the Jew washes his hands saying a set prayer acknowledging God as master of the universe who commanded him to wash his hands. Then the Jew gives a set prayer, usually the Amidah that is the prayer Christ gave us, only a longer version. Usually a Jew then includes some scripture study before he goes off to work.
Faithful Jews have special prayer time three times a day as Daniel did.
A faithful Jew doesn’t think of any part of his life, whether eating, waking, or working as being apart from God. They don’t think of this as a work, nor of God as without grace, but as an understanding that they are created by God and belong to Him. We have the added blessing of understanding Christ died for us, but most of us never think of ourselves as nothing apart from God so owe everything to Him.
Is the Jewish structure of days a good thing?
